Day 9 – The no (low) cost Kobe brewery crawl and Japan’s most authentic Chinatown.

Kobe is famous for its beef and its sake. The beef comes at a premium but the sake can be yours for free! Head to Nada-Cho for a look at the history and process of sake brewing, and the freshest taste of Kobe brew available at the Kiku Masamune Brewery. You can continue your low cost brewery crawl at the Hakutsuru-Kan and Shushinkan museums and the Hamafukutsuru-Ginjo Brewery. All have free admission and free samples at the end. The Konan Muko no Sato Museum has a sake tasting corner with three varieties of sake that are switched on a monthly basis. Entry is free, and ¥500 gets you a cup of each of the three monthly sakes.

Pleasantly buzzed before noon it’s time for stroll around the port and the most authentic Chinatown in Japan.
